Bad QB recruiting

The coaching was worse. The fact that after 2007 the only one to look serviceable was Mettenberger is telling

You obviously don't follow recruiting.

The development was far worse than the recruiting.

How bad was Miles and his OC's recruiting of QB's?

It was actually pretty good according to recruiting sites. I don’t think he had a qb start for him that wasn’t a 4 star with the exception of Andrew Hatch.

He did recruit our current QB.

We wasted a lot of great years due to horrendous qb recruiting.

It was not just recruiting. There was bad luck, bad development, and impatience involved in the problem.
LSU signed many 4* guys. One guy, who looked real good, got a record deal from the Dodgers to pitch after working with the football team all summer.
Other guys were not developed, either due to their limitations or to bad coaching.

We all know this. We are now at least three years past this... if Brennan turns out like we hope. And clearly the going forward QB classes look very good.

Narcisse might have been an upgrade to Harris and Jenkins. In a running only offense.. that is not how the game is played. And he had two ACLs.

Whatever, Drive on

The problem with LSU recruiting QB’s under Les Miles was their inability ever have more than 1 decent QB on the team. Miles could get one decent 4 star guy but then that guy would never have a highly ranked QB behind him. LSU’s backup QB’s always seemed to lack experience when they would be asked to take over the starting role. It seemed like LSU was rarely in a situation like they are in 2020 where they have a highly rated QB like Brennan stepping into a starting role after paying his dues and having been in the system and coached at the college level more than 1 year. LSU under Miles was never in the situation they are in now with 2 highly rated QB’s waiting their turn behind the starter. Ever since the Ryan Perrilloux debacle LSU has struggled to create quality depth at QB.

BTW, I saw Ryan Perilloux this week. He’s a skeleton of his former self compared to what he used to look like. He looks unhealthy skinny; maybe 170 lbs. He doesn’t resemble the athlete he used to be at all.
